Actually, I don't use LEAVE and INTR that much. In fact, when I do use one of those I have to check the manual to see what the command is since I use it so little. Before I use one of them, however, I think if it's going to help the code or to hinder it. But, when I see one in a program I know *exactly* where it's going. And why. If someone said they were not going to allow LEAVE and INTR in free format that would be fine with me, although those are constructs I would prefer to remain.
